Danja, who leafleted with friends in Holland at the EO Youth Day on
June 5, writes:

It was for us first time leafleting in Holland, and it went very
well. The weather was great and many people were around the event
/building.

Lorena send me about 350 booklets and I am glad we distributed them
all! In the beginning I was a little bit nervous because a lot of
security and police were walking around the building, but it was very
easy spreading around. The booklet is English, but the people were
reading it anyway.

We also had some good conversations with a few people. One man has
been vegetarian for nine years and his daughter is vegetarian, and he
was very happy we were spreading this around.

To help spread the CVA’s message, we’ve started an
Adopt-A-Shop Program! We’re asking volunteers to ask local
restaurants, grocery stores, libraries, etc. to stack our booklet
Would Jesus Eat Meat Today? in a “free” or “take-one” area. You can
do this any time and at your own discretion. There is the potential
for a big impact from a modest time commitment. Please contact Paris
at paris@christianveg.com
